yep spectral plugins are free now, because they went out of business and I bought OSC-45 two years ago.

As a dub musician, I’ve used varispeed for so long and it’s amazing. No tempo sync or pingpong, sadly, but it’s a great way to get the classic dub delay effect for like 2% of the cpu

[@obo_9942]

I've never seen your videos before and I gotta say - when I saw the headline and heard the premise, I was almost certain this was clickbait and that I'd already know about all of the plugins you mentioned. Instead.... I was pleasantly surprised - you covered at least 3-4 that I'd never heard of before (and also reminded me of some that I'd downloaded but forgotten about!). Well researched vid - impressed! Subscribed.

[@prodkxvi]

thanks man!!

[@andrewb214]

Good video.. I understand the desire to collect an arsenal of vst plugins, this is something that I used to do all the time. That said, before people go out and spend a tons of money on these, I'd say learn to use your DAW's stock plugins. Whether it be Logic, FL, Abelton or Bitwig, they all have excellent plugins that can do the vast majority of what these plugins can do.

[@BrotherMalMusic]

This is great advice bc some of my favorite plugins are stock FL plugins. But I’ve also made a lot of my favorite stuff, or at least stuff I would have never made, just bc I wanted to use a new plugin I just got. It’s a different type of motivation to create when you get some new vsts

[@FireSpeedFortnite]

been using fresh air on my 808s and vocal chain for a minute now. amazing vst and I 100% recommend it!

[@arturc8443]

Thanks, those spectral plugins are pure gold

[@bigfamsmusic]

h3000 was the go to for vocals pre Pro- tools. In every major studio

[@prodkxvi]

dope to know!

[@obo_9942]

This plugin has way more going on that just an emulation of the original hardware though if I'm not mistaken. Not talking smack on the hardware, just pointing that out because I heard about this at release and didn't check it out because I thought it was just a basic reverb with harmonizer or whatever.

[@dantepl1237]

You can drag your own one shots into Sky Keys as well🔥 It essentially becomes a multi fx sampler where you can use all of the built in effects on whatever original source you want.

[@prodkxvi]

damnnn wtf i need to try this, can you save the presets?

[@dantepl1237]

@@prodkxvi you can’t save them within the vst unfortunately but you can save the track/channel strip within logic. The creators said they’d work on this with future updates.

Pancz (pronounced panks) is a multiband transient shaper. i use it in most of my songs.

[@BrotherMalMusic]

I have it but haven’t used it much yet. What is it most effective on?

[@DevanshRastogi]

@@BrotherMalMusic usually anything which requires transient shaping and clipping lol. I use it on marimbas and plucks which might have a sharp and punchy attack, I use it's multiband mode and reduce the transients in the high ends, increase it in the mids. I also use it some times on wonky drums and melodic loops to get some punch

[@BrotherMalMusic]

@@DevanshRastogi ohh ok so basically it’s best for making percussive elements cut through the mix a little more? My initial concept of my usage of it was going to be what the KNOCK plugin does. Idk if that’s really the same though

[@DevanshRastogi]

@@BrotherMalMusic knock does that and so much more. This one just does the attack thingy. So yeah it’ll get your percs cut through a little more if you use it right ^^

[@BrotherMalMusic]

[@obiraf]

There is nothing here that is in any way unique or what you call gate keept. Any decent multi FX plugin will do everything you showed, furthermore a good one will do it better then the cheep plugins you suggest. The last thing I want is to be buying plugins for one specific effect because that's ridiculous to me. My old copy of Izotope Excalibur will do most of these effects better then the plugins you demonstrated. I would go as far as to say this video is nothing more then a promotional commercial for bad plugins.

[@illford]

Imo a loot of why people certain plugins is ease. Why do you even need a Mukti FX when you can get a single one that does it better? probably ease of use. I also find that something like Fresh air is actually quite useful because in pretty sure it's a mix of adding a noise layer and a multi band compressor and doing tye noise layer stuff isn't possible in a lot of multi FX anyways

[@prodkxvi]

i was not paid by any of these companies lol, you're telling me you knew every single plugin in this video?

[@obiraf]

@@illford I don't mean to be rude but you have no idea what your talking about. I suggest you spend the money and use industry standard plugins like those made by FabFilter. You will probably save money in the long-run and have better plugins. Each to their own if it works for you enjoy.
